When it comes to wedding table flowers, there is a multitude of centrepiece ideas to chose from.
Low table centres
Tall table centres
Garlands
Bud vases

Elevated / Suspended Flowers
These are just a few ways to decorate your tables. But how do you choose the perfect style for your wedding?

I thoroughly understand the importance of wedding planning and I am here to contribute to it.

Nonetheless, the symbolism is the same whether you prefer dramatic florals or minimalistic arrangements to match your style. The table flowers are there to represent the natural side of your union, they should tell your story, elevate your aesthetic, suit the venue and the setting of your wedding as well as the season.
How to decide on what style table centre would be perfect for your wedding?
Things to consider -
The shape of your table, how will your food be served? Are you planning for sharing platters? This would have a big impact on the floral table centres. What kind of atmosphere would you like to create?
What does the architecture of the place tells us? Large spaces with tall ceilings may suit taller table centres, while low ceilings may better host lower arrangements. Perhpas blending tall and low floral compositions is a great way to develop curiosity and depth.
Venue style. Tee-Pee and stretch tents may be more suited to scattering bud vases on rustic tables. This style is more relaxed and organic whereas classic floral table centres will create more of an elegant feel in a historic home.
If you opt for long tables, more linear designs that create a floral runner in the centre are a great way to dress the dinner. These can be chic and modern as well as romantic and garden inspired. This is where the type of the vessel and the choice of flowers will determine the look. The key is to envision a design that complements your venue's overall aesthetics and style as well as your wedding concept.
It's also important to get the ratio of flowers and the table space correct. If you opt for one table centre only but you have a large round tables that sit 10 guests it can look bit sparse and sort of unfinished. This is where dotting few bud vases around the centre flowers will bring the whole scheme to another level, mix in tea lights and tall candles and you have the perfect combination right there.
Budget - the more elaborate are the florals bigger investment you should expect, it's as simple as that and so if you are looking create something effective, stylish but budget friendly, look to bud vases and scattered greenery or for more refined look, single stem modern vases and candles.

When planning your wedding, it's important to consider all the elements, not only the flowers. Linen, candle holders, candles and other decorations are all important pieces that come together to create a harmonious look for your table. Always speak to your florists about what your plans for this are. Ideally, work with them to source the best accessories for the most cohesive look.
